The Mid-Atlantic Fishery Management Council is guided by a 5-year strategic plan. The plan serves as a roadmap that is used to prioritize fishery management actions, focus resources, and ensure steady progress toward long-term goals. The current strategic plan will expire at the end of 2024, and the Council is preparing to develop the next strategic plan for 2025-2029.
During the webinar, the public will have an opportunity to provide feedback on the Council's performance relative to the 2020-2024 strategic plan and provide recommendations for priority issues to be addressed in the 2025-29 plan. Input received during this meeting will be considered by the Council's Executive Committee at the June 2024 Council Meeting. The public will have another opportunity to provide input once a draft strategic plan has been developed later in 2024. Additional information, updates, and instructions for providing written comments will be posted to the Council's website at: *https://www.mafmc.org/strategic-plan.*
